Topics discussed include Andrew’s recent Washington Times columns on Hollywood’s new blacklist and his trip last week to Azerbaijan.
The blacklist in Hollywood is real, not only for celebrities like Orson Bean, John Voight, and many others that come out to support President Bush in the past eight years. The blacklist is there for unknown filmmakers like myself. Go out and make a pro-vietnam film and see what happens to you. I made my film FORGOTTEN HEROES in 1988 and finished it in 1990. It was the only film that honored and shown the Vietnam Veterans as Heroes during the Vietnam War. We all know how Hollywood treated the Vietnam Vet on film since 1970. I was a first time director and I was part of raising the funding in the private sector and this town refuse to distribute my film. It has taken me twenty years to set up my own distribution and I am selling the DVD off my web site at http://www.forgottenheroesthemovie.com we are donating $5.00 from each DVD sale to THE AMERICAN VETERANS DISABLED FOR LIFE MEMORIAL FUND. We feel this was the best way to really honor all of our Vets from all our wars. FORGOTTEN HEROES was my attempt to say, ‘thank you and welcome home’ in film after all those years of Hollywood spitting on our vets in film. The blacklist is real and does exist and I am still living it in and I will never get a deal in Hollywood now or in the future with this crowd running it the way they do.
I want to thank Andrew Breithart, Ed Driscoll and John Nolte for posting this article and radio interview. This needs to be told to the public over and over again. Keep up the great work guys, these articles helps not only the big names but the small guys like me who have no one to help them.
